1. I own 1, as of now. Standard Weathered MacKenzie tartan. I intend on buying more! Mine actually just got in today.
2. Quality and price. Mostly the price. Seemed like a good "real" starter kilt.
3. EVERYTHING. Running errands, general wandering about, church (it's a very relaxed church especially as far as dress code goes), hitting the pub... the list goes on. I refuse to wear pants anymore (except for the uniforms I MUST wear).

1) Three standard, two in Nighstalker sett and one in Leatherneck.
2) Combination of appearance, price, and traditional construction.
3) Clothing. ![Razz](http://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif)
The acrylic fabric looks and feels decent and I actually wear these more often than the woollies, as casual attire. They've seen a lot of use out hiking in the Marin Headlands, just across the Golden Gate Bridge from me. I wear them often around town, to restaurants/pubs/parties, etc. Oh, and of course at Bay Area Scottish/Celtic events. This pic (Leatherneck) is from a couple of weeks ago at the Pleasanton Highland Games:

3 1 Black Stewart Heavy, 1 Royal Stewart Standard, 1 Irish National Thrifty In that order.
Price, quality, and customer service
The heavy winter was coming and I refused to go back to pants in the cold weather so I needed a heavier kilt for snow, The standard was a shrunk in the closet sale from another kiltie, and the thrifty was I needed something cheap to compete in the Highland games with.
They are all in good rotation though the thrifty is looking a little rough from training and competition. Will replace the thrifty before next season. Only complaint I have is the limited tartans for the heavies as I really prefer the wool now.

I own three.
1 Black economy
1 Irish National Standard
1 Black Shadow tartan Heav tweight
Why did I but them?
Price and service.
Where do I wear them.
I wear the Irish National and the black Heavyweight to some highland games, and around town on occasions. The black economy, I wear around my property much of the time, doing about anything from bush hogging the lower field to watching TV. I alternate it with a couple of Sportkilts.

If they were available in a 22" length, I'm sure I'd own a couple...!
